Acceptance

Is it easy to accept people for who they are? Just letting folks be?

Maybe not, but I'm learning that either we accept others, faults and all, or we cut them off. It is frustrating as hell to try and make someone conform to your beliefs and values. It is insane to waste all kinds of time using all kinds of tricks to get someone to change their behavior. Especially if their behavior is not hurting anyone.

Carry on.

I decide what I can deal with. That's not to say I accept the same things about people form everyone I meet.
There is some behavior that I'd take from this person...or that person...
If you are speaking of men...in general...I haven't tried to change them. If that's the person I liked at the beginning...then why would I change them? Which also goes back to my previous comment...I decide what I canhandle in my life.

I seem to be getting this message from all sides: front back sideways and from above.
